2nd: the other six classes 80
standby: G 80/ M 50 / T 45/ W 35 / …
I would like a second weapon set for my elementalist (engi could get a second too, but I guess no player would use/need it)
even if one weapon is enough while being in a fight!
reason(s):
we played CoE and with ele you don’t want to use staff against several enemies…
e.g. when you have to fight the big one (path 2) that uses charge attacks…
it is better to use scepter+focus to slow him more often…
but the next groups (one will come to(wards) the group) should be easier killed by staff (just nuke+freeze+… them)
—> had to run away to switch
you can not be interupted by attacks (e.g. changed your staff to 1 dagger —> attack --> 8 skills are missing (2 per element/attunement) except you run to get rid of the aggro)
it is harder to sell one of your weapons (because you switched to staff and your offhand is in the bag with the drops)
how it could work:
like changing your skills: the player should/could only be able to switch sets when (s)he is out of fight…
the rest should work the same way the other chars are played… press ^ to switch to the other set…
benefits:
the only difference: faster/easier and you see what happens around you (now you have to press H, locate the weapon(s) and switch them by hand)
not selling the offhand when you switched to staff and your cheap offhand is in the first few bags with the other drops…
you don’t need to run away to switch weapons/equip your offhand (while other players write things like “wrong way” or “lol! fight!”)
…
What about classes that use 2 sets of weapons?
should there be 2 sets each consisting of 2 weapons?
For example guardian with staff and gsword, and mace/focus with hammer on the other set, wouldnt it be confusing if the guardian wanted staff and hammer?
This won’t happen. They restricted engineers and elementalists to 1 weapon set for a reason… Elementalists have their attunements and engineers weapon kits giving them plenty of skills.
